Gyro's Will Be Leased To A Pilot Training School And An Aerial Service Operator
ARC Aerosystems has reported to ANN that it has finalized a transaction for the sale of five Pegasus aircraft to a Scottish investor to lease to a pilot training school and an aerial service operator, with ARC committed to delivering all units by the first quarter of 2026. The Pegasus is reportedly the first Non-helicopter VTOL aircraft to receive FAA certification.
Understanding the eVTOL landscape, ARC looks to leverage the Pegasus potential as a solution to modern challenges in rural transport and various civil contingencies. The Pegasus allegedly offers several advantages over current eVTOL models: notably lower power consumption, increased safety, and reduced maintenance costs. Crucially, unlike many eVTOL concepts still under development, the Pegasus is already certified and operationally proven.
The certification and demonstrated operational reliability of the Pegasus could set it apart in a market filled with emerging, as-yet-unproven, eVTOL concepts. This sale not only reflects ARC Aerosystems capability to meet current aviation demands but also highlights its what it considers to be its role in shaping the future of VTOL technology.
ARC Aerosystem's Dr Seyed Mohseni notes that, ‘The first real sale of 5 aircraft exemplify ARC Aerosystems ability to meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry but also reinforces its commitment to pioneering efficient and practical aerial mobility solutions.'
ARC Aerosystems is poised to begin test flights of the Pegasus over the coming months at its Cranfield facility, with public demonstrations planned at this year's Farnborough Air Show.
